Answer 1

Ans) Obamacare – also known as the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA – is a law enacted to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health insurance.

Aspects of the Affordable Care Act Impacting nursing practice:

1- Higher-Learning Opportunities For Nurses Will Become More Affordable. The ACA is pouring money into America's overall health care system, including educational institutions. Since the demand on today's health care resources will increase, the funding needed to teach and train new nursing students must also increase.

2- Nurse-to-Patient Ratios May Change:

More people with health coverage inherently means more people will be seeing care providers when sick or managing chronic conditions.

3- Role in Educating Patients Will Become More Important:

- This would be because Previously uninsured people with long-term health conditions may not have seen a care provider regularly.
